238: This is Part 1 of one of the most philosophical conversations ever recorded on In My Non-Expert Opinion with Chelsea’s vision board guest, Derek Sivers.

In this episode, Chelsea and Derek discuss:

• Derek’s nomadic heart and values, and how his decision to be a good dad led him to halt his travels and settle in New Zealand
• Derek’s goal to make the whole world feel like home
• Inhabiting philosophies from around the world
• Useful, not true, thinking
• Constantly pivoting to find your own success
• How to make decisions that actually align with your goals
• Creating just for the sake of it vs. monetizing
• The power of constraints

• and WAY more eye-popping, quotable gems from Derek

Resources Mentioned:

• "Personal Development for Smart People" by Steve Pavlina
• Derek's books
• Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman
• Midnight Library by Matt Haig
